"The charger was connected to my laptop and blue charging lights were on..."

Ok, reading all these forums and youtube links, I have resolved a problem with my acer 5740g. The charger was connected to my laptop and blue charging lights were on, but the computer wouldn`t respond to me trying to turn it on.

Once it booted, but turned off after 15 seconds...

What did I do?

1. Disconnect battery and charger.
2 hold down on button for 30 seconds (to drain residual current)
3. Opened memory bay and very carefully took out both Ram modules.
4. Cleaned the Ram Modules with a clean cloth. (My ram wasn`t dirty, but did anyway)
4b. Connect power cable to Acer. ( I tried to see if pc would boot to bios screen without ram ) without success.
4c. I had to drain the residual current again, as in step 2.
5. Put stick one of ram in lower bay, closed compartment and turned on computer.

Success.

6. Windows booted, but was corrupted due the frequent boot attempts.
.....this triggered "find last good windows copy" search.

7. Let windows repair itself, this took a few minutes.
8. Finally I was running windows, with one stick of ram.
9. ( I am doing all of this without the battery being connected. I`m running off mains power)

10. Turn computer off and repeat step two.

11. Insert second ram module and boot up laptop.
12. If successful, power off the laptop and insert battery.
13. Diagnostic check complete.

"Defective charging pins/port of your laptop

Hello Photocj67,

With regards to you problem, This could only be cause by two reason,

1. Defective laptop charger/adaptor

2. Defective charging pins/port of your laptop

If you are pretty sure that your laptop charger is working then it could only be the laptops charging port/pin that is defective and needed to be replaced. as an added test you could try to charge power on the laptop using a universal laptop charger ( if available) and check if will power up or charge. If you can`t see any signs of activity in your laptop ie., laptops led displays lights up then it is clearly a charging port problem. You can send it to a qualified service center or to your dealer if the laptop is still under warranty for repair / replacement.

Hope this helps and if you have any other concerns that you wish to clarify just drop by and post your question. Thanks and God bless.

If you experience this thing try to open your laptop and remove the ram, clean it with a soft clothes or eraser. Put back the ram and try again. If still nothing and a black screen your bios has been corrupted and the only way to fix this problem is by flashing the bios.

Try to press FN + F3. It`s impossible that there are no bluetooth switch on that laptop. To make sure that it have a bluetooth, go to device manager. On your desktop right click on mycomputer and click properties. In the list try to see if you can find "bluetooth device" if you don`t see it, your laptop model don`t have a bluetooth device.
